“没有人凌驾于法治之上,同样也没有人低于法治之下——所以我们现在期待审判,希望明年年初能开庭。”庭审期间,该律师告知法庭,他们将适时提交文件并申请保释。保释申请将通过高等法院提出。他表示,审判时间表需考虑到电子证据专家鉴定的时间。
"Nobody is above the rule of law, but equally nobody is below the rule of law - so we now look forward to a trial, hopefully in the early part of next year."

He said the timetable for the trial needs to take into account expert examination of digital evidence.
